WILLIAM CARTWRIGHT
English poet
(1611 - 1643)

Brave spirits are a balsam to themselves,
  There is a nobleness of mind that heals
    Wounds beyond salves.
      - [Courage]

Fancy can save or kill; it hath clos'd up
  Wounds when the balsam could not, and without
    The aid of salves:--to think hath been a cure.
      For witchcraft then, that's all done by the force
        Of mere imagination.
      - [Imagination]

The fool inherits, but the wise must get.
      - [Fools]

Tell me not of joy: there's none
  Now my little sparrow's gone;
    He, just as you,
      Would toy and woo,
        He would chirp and flatter me,
          He would hang the wing awhile,
            Till at length he saw me smile,
              Lord! how sullen he would be!
      - Lesbia and the Sparrow [Sparrows]
